Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP)

The Comprehensive Unit-based Safety Program (CUSP) is a teamwork approach used in healthcare to improve patient safety by empowering healthcare staff to identify and address safety concerns. It encourages open communication, learning from errors, and implementing small, targeted changes to prevent harm. CUSP promotes a culture where staff feel responsible and confident in their ability to improve safety quality within their specific units, leading to better overall patient care and reduced mistakes.
